From version 6.5.0 CMS Fiona includes a link checker with which
the availability of external http
and https
links
can be tested. For this to work, the Content Management Server requires
access to the internet.
The link checker does not verify SSL certificates.
URLs matching particular patterns can be excluded from link checking. Excluded URLs are alway treated as if they were available, meaning that they will never show up in the Content Navigator's list of unreachable link destinations.
If the Content Management Server (CM) is operated behind a firewall (i. e. in a DMZ), please ensure that it can establish internet connections. For this, the following ports need to be enabled in the firewall:
http
https
dns
for resolving external DNS namesFor checking external link destinations the Content Management Server
can make use of a proxy. For this, set the http_proxy
or
all_proxy
for the CMS user to your proxy server. See the libcurl documentation.
Example for Linux with bash:
export http_proxy=http://ourproxy.company.dmz:3128/
If the proxy requires authentication, enter the following instead:
export http_proxy=http://username:password@proxyintern.firma.dmz:3128/
